libsubcmd: Fix use-after-free for realloc(..., 0)
GCC 12 correctly reports a potential use-after-free condition in the xrealloc helper. Fix the warning by avoiding an implicit "free(ptr)" when size == 0: In file included from help.c:12: In function 'xrealloc', inlined from 'add_cmdname' at help.c:24:2: subcmd-util.h:56:23: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free] 56 | ret = realloc(ptr, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ subcmd-util.h:52:21: note: call to 'realloc' here 52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ subcmd-util.h:58:31: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free] 58 | ret = realloc(ptr, 1); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ subcmd-util.h:52:21: note: call to 'realloc' here 52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fixes: 2f4ce5ec ("perf tools: Finalize subcmd independence") Reported-by: Valdis Klētnieks <valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu> Signed-off-by: Kees Kook <keescook@chromium.org> Tested-by: Valdis Klētnieks <valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu> Tested-by: Justin M.
